About

The Hotel Kernen is located close to the Schönried train station, about 3.1 mi from Gstaad, and offers rooms with balconies, gourmet food and free Wi-Fi. All rooms are rustically but elegantly furnished, and most have a balcony with a beautiful view of the surrounding mountains. You can use the swimming pools and the spa area of the neighboring hotel at a reduced rate. The 18-hole golf course of Gstaad is only a 10-minute drive from the hotel. As a hotel guest you will receive a green fee discount of 10%. The Horneggli and Rellerli cable cars are only a few minutes' walk away from the Kernen hotel. The Hotel Kernen is an ideal starting point to the hiking paths and mountain bike trails, as well as the ski slopes and cross-country ski runs of the Gstaad-Saanenland region.

    • Hotel employee is an amazing little town in the Gstaad area and Hotel Kernen was top notch. The hosts and staff were great. Breakfast and dinner amazing. Between 3-5 everyday they do coffee and cakes, don't miss it, the locals come and hang out as well.
    • Our stay at Hotel Kernen in Gstaad was absolutely fantastic. We stayed there as a family, and from the very first moment
    • Fantastic view, amazing breakfast and top restaurant inside!

    Cons -

    • Nothing I didn't like.
    • We did not see any vegetables for breakfast. At least some cucumbers and tomatoes would have been nice.
    • Minor item: the mattress was not fully leveled and was a bit uncomfortable

    New and well-kept location. Very clean and high quality.

    We did not see any vegetables for breakfast. At least some cucumbers and tomatoes would have been nice.

    9GeorgePosted on: 2-11-2025

    The hotel is conveniently located across Horneggli and a 4 minute drive away from Saanenmöser. Breakfast as well as dinner was absolutely satisfactory with a wide range of options.

    Minor item: the mattress was not fully leveled and was a bit uncomfortable

    It was super thoughtful and simple! Easy everything! The owner Bruno was so genuinely nice and accommodating.. Staff was super nice.. it felt like family!

    It was right next to train station and ski rentals.. and i preferred that it wasn’t super fancy and busy like Gstaad.. The restaurant was delicious and super nice! The coffee every am was amazing too!

    9Paddy01Posted on: 9-20-2024

    Lovely hotel, efficient and nice staff. Superb restaurant both dinner and breakfast.

    Rooms roadside are noisier and booking.com didn’t pass the twin room reservation. But the lady at reception went out of her way to solve the issue.

    10ChristopherPosted on: 9-11-2024

    Breakfast was excellent

    There was some irritating noise coming from below my room until about 11:30 pm . Not sure what was below me.I was on the first floor.

    9VeraPosted on: 8-16-2024

    Room is very clean, bathroom is comfortable. Amazing little pillows, overall, bedding is great. Great restaurant. Located near train station.

    No kettle or mini fridge in the room. Rooms overlooking street may be too loud in the morning, if you are light sleeper.

    8mayshaPosted on: 7-16-2024

    Property was great. We just happened to get a poorly located room on the street side over the kitchen. Traffic noise disruptive.

    Nothing. Just the particular room we had. Other side of building would have e made all the difference

    8MikaelPosted on: 7-10-2024

    Very nice and good location! Personnel was very friendly.

    I wasn't a big fan of the breakfast. It was Ok, but I'm more of a english breakfast kind of guy. No bacon in this place.

    9CliffPosted on: 5-28-2024

    Breakfast was continental but extensive and really good quality. Situated high in the mountains just north of Gstaad it’s a perfect location for hiking and the signage in Switzerland is excellent. Also the Schonried ‘Golden Pass’ railway station is just a couple of minutes away from the hotels front door. Staff are extremely knowledgeable and pleasant.

    The location, the hotel, the friendly owner, the restaurant with fresh, locally products.The discount at nearby spa. The afternoon tea.

    7CarolinaPosted on: 2-29-2024

    Close to the ski lift, but not in walking distance from the center of Gstaad. Cozy lounge, family-owned

    Room was small and bed was not so comfortable. Breakfast was not good. In general, this hotel is overpriced

    9AdrianPosted on: 2-28-2024

    Schonried is a magical village, with chalets perched on top of the other as they climb up the hill. The hotel is nicely placed in the centre of the village, with free parking and walking distance to Horneggli ski lift. The architecture is typical Swiss chalet, simple but warm and elegant. The restaurant is excellent - we had breakfast every morning (varied and with great choices, friendly staff catering for all your whims), and dinner twice - high class food accompanied by Swiss wines and marvelous deserts. Sannen and Gstaad are not that far and are also beautiful to visit and mingle with locals and tourists (and you get a chance to see some celebrities, like we saw JC Van Damme :)

    Room was above the kitchen and sometimes could hear the pans banging late in the night.

    10JudithPosted on: 2-19-2024

    I loved my stay at Hotel Kernen ! Close to railway station & walking distance to ski field. Very welcoming hotel & staff were amazing - Bruno the owner made a huge effort with his guests & is a lovely person. Meals in the restaurant were divine . Highly recommend to stay here rather than in Gstaad town centre.

    There wasn't a fridge in my room - however didnt really matter as I was able to keep anything cold by putting on the windowsill outside to keep cold!

    10InanPosted on: 1-4-2024

    Breakfast is great! The hotel is very conveniently located to the ski lift. You can walk with ski boots, no need to worry about the distance. There are also two ski stores which can rent ski/snowboard. Bruno Kernen is the best hotel owner I have met so far.

    9TaliaPosted on: 12-31-2023

    Beautiful property with great views and excellent location. Breakfast was for a good length of time and a wide variety of food. We ate in the restaurant a few times and enjoyed the meals each time. Staff were very hospitable and welcoming. Went out of their way to help us with activities and bookings.

    It was fairly expensive but we did travel at a busy time of year (Christmas time)

    9ZohraPosted on: 12-31-2023

    Location is great next to train station but not noisy. Had an incredible stay at the Kernen hotel! The owner and entire staff were simply brilliant, from the attentive housekeepers to every member of the team. The service was exceptional, and the location added to the overall charm. Highly recommend this place for a delightful experience! ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ ⭐️

    Honestly I have nothing bad to say I just had a great stay
